Data notes for Mississippi
- The lowest published charge ($1,270 at Wayne General Hospital) is unusually low for an inpatient stay. This may reflect a data-quality issue in the hospital's MRF rather than an actual price — verify directly with the hospital before relying on it.

14 Mississippi hospitals publish gross charges for healthy newborn (DRG 795). Prices range from $1,270 to $25,062 — roughly $23,792 apart. The cheapest is Wayne General Hospital in Waynesboro; the most expensive is Northwest Missississippi Regional Medical Center in Clarksdale. The state average sits at $8,486.
These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists healthy newborn at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
For healthy newborn in Mississippi, the price below is each hospital's gross charge for the facility portion of delivery — your actual out-of-pocket depends on insurance, length of stay, complications, and whether the obstetrician bills separately. Click any hospital name for its full maternity profile, including CMS star rating, patient-experience scores, and (where designated) the CMS Birthing-Friendly Hospital marker — a useful signal of maternity-care quality.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Mississippi hospitals missing from the list either don't perform healthy newborn in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 795 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
